Graphic footage shows cop shooting charging pit bull in Manhattan

A new video emerged Thursday that shows police shoot a pit bull shot in the head in the East Village on Monday. The graphic footage, posted to the Gothamist website, shows two uniformed cops approaching the dog’s owner as he appeared to be suffering a seizure on E. 14th St. near Second Ave. The barking dog, Star, keeps the officers at bay before he suddenly lunges off camera toward a bystander that stepped too close to his owner, a homeless man named Lech Stankiewicz, witnesses told the website. As the two cops move in toward Stankiewicz, the dog sprints for one cop — who quickly draws his gun and fires one shot into Star’s head.
